Some Supe TV Broadcast Notes

“The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, meeting in the Super Bowl for the second time in five seasons/four years, have each lost 2 Super Bowl games and after the upcoming tilt, one of the teams will be (0-2) in “CBS as the AFC network” (although there are numerous cross over telecasts, denying the old rules of visiting team/that conference network, “getting”/telecasting said game), Super Bowl telecasts. “T

This will be Jim Nantz’ sixth Supe as lead broadcaster.

Both the Chiefs (vs and actually at TB/TB–Tampa Bay (Buccaneers) with Tom Brady, winning a record seventh Super Bowl crown) and 49ers (to the John Harbaugh coached Ravens, an entity still in tact that K.C. beat to gain 2023 season, Supe entry) are (0-1) in such games.

The Chiefs are (3-2) in previous Supes, with all three wins coming on the NFL/NFC network, including the ’69 crown on CBS, when it was the NFL, as opposed to AFL network.

K.C. also won the crown on NFC network, Fox in both ’19 and ’22, the former vs the Niners and last year against the Philadelphia Eagles.

S.F. won it all in their first 5 Supe appearances but have lost in the last two, one under current national champion coach with Michigan but also new L.A. Chargers’ coach, Jim Harbaugh vs (as cited above) to brother John’s Baltimore Ravens in ’12 and as also cited above, to the Chiefs in ’19.

Their Supe wins were in ’81 on CBS when it was NFC, neutral ABC in ’84 and ’94, on AFC/NBC in ’88 and again on NFC/CBS in ’89.

Click below as I posted this video as tribute to greats, Willie Mays (upcoming Mays’ 2/24/24 day) and broadcaster Lon Simmons.

It is Lon’s call of Willie’s 600th home run. He also broadcast 49ers games in good, bad and great S.F. seasons.
